Nylon washers

Can anyone give me a source for purchasing the nylon washers that go in the sliding locking mechanism for the canopy? Thanks Rick Adler Waiex 0146

I had trouble with finding them too, I ended up finding some that would work at home depot or lowes.

Thanks Rick,

I've noticed that some home depot/lowes locations have a larger selection of odd bits of hardware than others. I go to the nut/bolt/hardware aisle and look for the bins with drawers that pull out, that's where I've found many of the odd hardware bits like this. Also, Ace or True Value hardware stores sometimes have odd parts that HD/Lowes don't carry.
